Homeland Security recently published an extensive report, which deserves the attention of warriors against terrorism. It is titled โ€œSecure Borders and Open Doors: Preserving Our Welcome to the World in an Age of Terrorism.โ€ The following recommendation in the report, which would result in the greater scrutiny of foreign students entering the U.S., concerns the tightening up of โ€œvisa policy and processingโ€:

The Department of State should expand its use of management practices related to visa processing to include more monitoring of outcomes and the achievement of specific resultsโ€”including a maximum 30-day wait time for visa interviews and improvements in security and error reductionโ€”with systematic goals, performance metrics, feedback, and improvements in outcomes from year to year.
